Volunteer Driver Info & Criminal Record Checks

Parent volunteer drivers are always needed and appreciated.  Please make sure your information on file with the school office is up-to-date so that if the opportunity arises for you to accompany your child’s class on a field trip, you have everything required in place.  We ask that you make sure that you supply this information well in advance of the field trip to avoid last minute concerns or problems with incorrect or insufficient information.

Criminal Record Check

If you have completed a criminal record check for the school already you do not need to do another one (they are held on file and considered valid for 5 years and you can move the information with your child to middle school if it is within the 5 year time frame from when it was first obtained).  We are only able to accept criminal record checks that are submitted through the school.

1.  The easiest and quickest way to complete a criminal record check is online.  Please visit this website https://justice.gov.bc.ca/criminalrecordcheck and enter Access code: 7UCEUKNRLC

Although our preference is for all criminal record checks be completed online we realize this may not be possible for everyone.  If needed you can pick up a paper Criminal Record Check Form from the office or print from View Royal Website here.
